Firefox Community Forum

Two step verification is set up on all my email accounts via webmail - Verizon/AOL, Gmail, and Yahoo. I never set it up, and when I go in to the mail applications' prefererences it's turned off. But when I try to sign into any of my webmail sites it insists on sending me a code and I have to go back to Thunderbird and open the emails containing the verification code. I specifically go to web mail because spam folders aren't available in Thunderbird and I need access to the spam so I can turn it in to Spamcop. (Mac desktop, OS 15.7.1)

Apparently when Total AV did a scan this morning, it completely knocked out my RoboForm. I really want it back. I have tried everything I can think of to log in, but it is grayed out and won't allow me in.

Can't log into NYTImes.com with Firefox. I use Bitwarden for passwords. I also have UBlock Origin, but that should not affect logins. I clear cache and cookies upon browser close. I ended up resetting Firefox entirely, which was a royal pain, it worked for a few days and now is not working again. I have no problems logging in with Chrome but Firefox is my preferred browser.

Also having problems with the captchas on Etsy. I get endless captchas, like for five minutes. I set up 2FA in hopes it would stop with the captchas but that only worked once and now it's endless captchas again. Yet no problems on Chrome.

The NYTimes problem is recent and started early to mid-August 2024. The Etsy problem started maybe late June? Same password manager, same extensions. I hate to go to Chrome every time I need to log in. So far these are the only two websites that consistently give me problems. Does anybody have a fix?

You sent me an email that says I have successfully created a password on "Windows 10" "I have Windows 11" ?? I need tech support because I don't know how to log into my account. Can I get a call at [edited phone# from public community support forum]. Name Paul Yoshida.

Had to give up using Firefox because I can't open CenturyLink Email. Being told login does not match, but when I use the login on another browser, works fine. It does no good to change password as it will only open one time and then goes back to login does not match. I miss Firefox browser but must get to my Email. Help if you can! Jack Jackson

Recently I have been getting this message and being blocked out of sign in ability at some sites after the last update. Error: Google reCAPTCHA verification failed, please try again later

How do I get rid of this? Please be specific.

When I login to my Virgin Mobile Canada account (at https://www.virginplus.ca/myAccount/logon-smart.do), it displays the error:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit. The URL for the error message starts with https://www.ges.bell.ca/siteminderagent/SmMakeCookie.ccc?SMSESSION=

After getting the error, when I got back to https://myaccount.virginplus.ca/, I find that I am logged in. Also, I do not get this error with Edge.

Cheers,

I accidentally deleted a login username and password in my password list. Is there a way to recover that password?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I set my Primary Password, and when I open Firefox, the Password dialog opens asking for it. However, if I hit "Cancel", or just close the dialog box, lthe password is bypassed and Firefox opens as normal.

Good afternoon,

I have read in an article a statement that Primary Password encrypts all saved logins, therefore it is safer and recommended to use it. Well, I observed that it does not really matter if the password is set for the contents of logins.json, it does not change. What exactly is encrypted by Primary Password and how does it improve security?

I also tried to set the same password for different websites (I used a different mail tho) and the output in logins.json is different, which is even more confusing to me.

The output itself is kind of strange, the first part of it seems to be the same for almost all entries and looks like that: MEoEEPgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEwFAYIKoZIhvcNAwc.
